and to whom? to have anyone with internet access essentially read what could be u. s. intelligence on russia and ukraine and allies i'll give you a suit. all the information that's been revealed is open source. you and i can find it out on specialist for books and websites from experts, things like the shell expenditure rates or certain types of weapons system ranges and what have you, what we couldn't find out though the things that are rather more disturbing to russia, that for example, 12, you creating brigades are being trained 9 of them in the west. and the interesting thing here is that this is cause rather more consternation in russia than it has in the west. russian commentators are saying that we really have a problem here. the ukrainians have that kind of scales of readiness and people and equipment. this is dangerous to happen. alterations made which would indicate some form of this information effort, particularly to russian casualties. but they're so transparently false that no will take them seriously. and what kind of possible consequences could there be on the expected ukrainian spring o

ukraine leaked documents, reportedly from the pentagon, suggest the u. s. is spying on both russia and ukraine's military and gathering intelligence on nato allies. will bring you the lowdown from an analyst. also on the show, china simulates position strikes on taiwan. chinese warships and fighter jets have encircled the island on a 2nd day of military exercises. beijing says it's a warning to the island after its president visited the united states. ah hope, frances leads easter sunday mass in the vatican. tens of thousands of catholics gathered to hear his traditional blessing and an appeal for peace in dialogue and conflicts raging around the world. ah, nick spicer, welcome to the program. the u. s. justice department has launched an investigation into the league of what appeared to be classified intelligence reports. the documents relate to russia's war and ukraine and have been uploaded to social media sites. the reports purportedly from the pentagon suggest the u. s. has been spying on both russia and ukraine's military and gathering intelligence on its nato allies . us official

u. s. justice department has launched an investigation into the league of what appeared to be classified intelligence reports. the documents relate to russia's war in ukraine and have been uploaded to social media sites. the reports purportedly from the pentagon suggest the u. s. has been spying both on russia and ukraine, military and gathering intelligence on its nato allies. us officials say russia or pro russian supporters are likely behind the leak. frank lead, which is a former british military intelligence officer. i asked him how we know these documents are really authentic, given all this information in conflict. well, good evening. we don't know that there. authentic is the answer, but there are some reason. the big difference is the 1st of what you've already mentioned in the pentagon requested the justice department on a date will have ordered its own inquiry. they've asked the justice department behind that is to look into the counter intelligence aspect of it. so what the american certainly want is to believe probably correctly, that these are authentic. now, also it's worth saying that from what i've seen of these documents, i haven't seen them

and have been uploaded to social media sites. the reports reported leave from the pentagon. so just the u. s. has been spying on both russia and ukraine's military and gathering intelligence on its nato allies. u. s. officials say russia or pro russia supporters are likely behind the leech. frank led, which is a former british military intelligence officer. i asked him how we know these documents are authentic, given all of this information in the conflict. good evening. we don't know that there are authentic is. yeah. so, but there are some reason to be good. for instance, the 1st of which you've already mentioned in the pentagon requested the justice department on a date will have ordered its own inquiry. they've asked the justice department hi, that is to look into the counter intelligence aspect of it. so what the of the american study wants us to believe probably correctly that these are authentic. now also it's worth saying that from what i've seen of these documents, i haven't seen them all. they do look the kind of thing that would comprise a daily situation report or a daily update as i think now. cool. so on the face of it, th

u. s. and nato aid to ukraine. their content suggests that the u. s. has been spying on both russia and ukraine's military and gathering intelligence on its nato allies. the u. s. justice department is scrambling to find the source of belief with official saying russia or pro russian supporters are likely behind it. from our let's bring and ben hodges, former commanding general of the u. s. army in europe and senior adviser with human rights 1st in frankfort. general ha, just thank you so much for rejoining us here on the program. these reports suggesting that ukraine is just weeks away from running out of missiles to support its air defense network situation. sounds dire, is it? well, sir, thank you. yes, of course, it is significant. and in the ukraine is running low on their air and missile defense systems. and ammunition for those systems. and it highlights the fact that we need to help ukraine deny sanctuary for russia in crimea, another occupied parts of ukraine from which they are launching aircraft and drones and missiles. so part of this is the

ukraine. their content suggest the u. s. has been spying on both russia and ukraine's military and gathering intelligence on its nato allies. the u. s. justice department is scrambling to find the source of the league with official saying that russia or its sympathizers are likely behind it. with some experts even suggesting the source could be american. ukraine's air defense is running low. some experts worrying russia could soon unless its considerable air power to change the course of the war. i asked former commanding general at the u. s. army in europe. ben hodges, if he shares those concerns. the russian air force has not impressed me for the last 14 months, even though they had a huge numerical superiority. it's clear that they don't have the training or the ability to really achieve air superiority. this is something that the german air force, british royal air force, the u. s. air force. we would have done this in the 1st days of any conflict, especially with that kind of numerical superiority. the russians were not able to do that. so it's not just

u. s. could be in a position to make up the gap where ukraine has said and what these leaks showed is missing air power and not sure, well the u. s. has allowed to stop all of these kinds of ammunition, but i think altura needs oil, countries in europe would have to step in as well and to deliver that's why this combine does support to coming to the the petra. there the fence also important that the dutch stepped in as well. they didn't deliver a whole fire unit, but just to launch us and an unspecified number of rockets. so everybody in the west has to contribute. i think. ok, now i also asked how these leaks could affect russia. i'll put this question to you, mr. guzman. some of the files have suggested that special forces from nato are actually including the united states countries where nato members are operating inside of ukraine. do we know who these people are and what they're doing? and what russia might say about this development? okay, this, this was, of course, a very nice for the russian propaganda. and for people in the west to believe that this whole conflict is made up by the w

and so for that matter, i do think that the u. s. has an interest in seeing ukraine succeed, but as general hodges says, they don't want to necessarily give them all the kit that they need because they're worried about escalation. and it's not just the foreign policy ramifications about defeat of russia and china's role. it's also about an election that's coming up next year. and president biden wants to be is, is careful and is not as careful to be risk averse and also highly incremental, rather than committing everything all at once. and what are the stakes there in the united states? if we see a change of administration and say, former president donald trump return to power, do you think i'd expect to much different? well, that's a whole different as the program maybe next week. but i do think for the most part, mainstream republicans, if there are any left, and that many of the mainstream democrats, because of bo sides of the aisle. there are wings of each party that want to hold back in terms of support for ukraine. but for the most part in the senate and democr

and it's, it's, you know, building support for the u. s. stella coast, all the tour thrush and the u. s. policy and ukraine of army ukrainians and getting more involved. busy in the war, taking the war really directly against russia as well. it seems like the f b, i has arrested this 21 year old jack to share, accusing him of publishing documents on this code, which then were we posted by the telegram. why has that been such a focus on the channel repose thing be for lead leaks when they will already published by many other media sources? i'm not sure. yeah. there are a lot of strange things going on there. you know, theories that, i mean it's weird that this guy was so young and he had access all those documents . that's one strange thing on discord. i think they want a brand is some kind of like, you know, gaming network for like extreme right wing or you know, miss fitz, i think maybe to deflect attention away from what those documents reveal. and i think the documents really question the u. s. paul sin show that the u. s. government was lying and government officials relying they were obscuring just ho

you know, obviously ukraine resilience has come out and, and condemned these lakes and saying it's just part of a misinformation campaign. i mean, what about the trust between the u. s. and ukraine at this point in time, what does it does? what does it do to that relationship? well, i think this is a major problem because a conflict such as you cram is not just a war about getting term rates as a war by the mind. despite the minds of people throughout the world and how they perceive us contact us at the moment. the fact that you and i and this other media are talking and writing about the story, shows it as is called credit significance. the only people of the moment must be feeling relatively happy about this, probably are friends and so intelligent because this is almost the perfect conceptional corporation. what we've now got as a lack of trust, that the subsidy right? if people's lives well being are on the line, but they shouldn't do feel that the people around them, particularly their superiors, are some higher competence or not caring. they're both wellbeing them as a major source for discontent and all sorts of difficult things. spring from kelly, and i want

and adversaries. but perhaps most concerning for u. s. officials are the classified files about the war and ukraine. u. s. defense secretary lloyd austin, said his department is launching review of intelligence, access, accountability, and control procedures. but u. s. president joe biden, who's currently on a visit to the republic of ireland, great. was came to play down, his worries over the potential fallout when are you concerned about the, the time to go? we get a minute. you're concerned about the ladies. i'm concerned that he's looking contemporaneously, where this is the boston court house, where the alleged leeker is to appear on friday. but while the main suspect may be in custody dozens more documents and their explosive content may yet come to light eyes, d. w as secure to correspondent thomas sparrow. what else was known about the suspect? he was young that as a, as a start. and he was described as someone who had worked as a sort of i t specialist within the intelligence wing of the massachusetts national guard. and that probably explains how he was allegedly able to access that classified

u. s. justice department has launched an investigation into the leak of what appeared to be classified intelligence reports. the documents relate to rachelle warren ukraine and have been applauded to social media sites. the reports, but broadly from the pentagon, suggest the u. s. has been spying on both russia and ukraine, military and gathering intelligence on its nato allies. us officials say russia or poor russian supporters are likely behind the leak to resolve for is the founder and executive director of the national security institute and a former white house. so see it to george w bush. i asked him how damaging these leaks are. well, obviously we don't know the details of all the documents have been leaked thus far . but what we've seen to date is, is fairly damaging. we see a lot of details about what the u. s. is doing to collect intelligence, the kind of reporting that we had, and in particular of the results of that reporting, demonstrating views on the ukraine war views on the russians capabilities as well as views on the ukrainian military. and do we have an idea about how authentic these documents are, even as you point out there, so damaging

ukraine's western allies have been meeting at a u. s. air base here in germany to bolster support for key and it's war with russia. senior u. s. defense officials say that nato stands with ukraine for the long haul, and that american takes do in the fall will make a difference on the battlefield. you're watching the w news. i'll be back at the top of the hour with mobile news followed by the day i hope to see you then. ah, with you with the co africa cushion. it's the traditional schools in liberia that the sale and consumption of it has been forbidden for several years. the goal is to preserve the fire diversity and prevent the spread of diseases our liberian hunting with the change africa. on d w. ah . hello guys, this is a 77 percent. the platform for africa is you to beat issues and share ideas. you know, all these channels. we are not afraid to talk to young people clearly have the solution. good future loans to the 77 percent. every weekend on d. w. guardians, of truth a, i had paid almost every price of feature in the country like to a key taking on the powers that be they risk everything, gender dar, meet activists,

u. s. and nato documents concerning ukrainian, military readiness and losses. both ukraine and the u. s. say the documents may have been tampered with and could contain misinformation that would benefit moscow . military analysts from glad bitch eliana had his thoughts with me on a decision. ukraine must make. well, eddie, what the ukrainians are deciding in the next few days is whether the losses that they are inflicting on the russians are worth the losses and sec sustaining themselves, which are calculated by the way they've been observing. now for the last 2 or 3 months, the problem they have, according to british intelligence, is that they withdraw route is now threatened the 506 road west, out of back, moot. once that become seriously threatened, you credit will make a decision which could happen tomorrow. could happen another week or 2 weeks, but they will have to make the decision to, to withdraw very quickly. they've demonstrated in the past, if they do that, they can conduct a fighting with all very effectively as they didn't ask and several other places over the last year or so

and u. s. intelligence in ukraine today, for the ukraine is entirely dependent upon the united states military and economic support. ah, so that without american support, ugh, the ukraine would dry up and blow away and they wouldn't last 2 weeks. if the united states stop sending them a major weapon systems, if the europeans like the germans and the french and the grange, stop sending them plus their mercenaries in the west is applying vast amounts of weapons to cave, ignoring the ukranian nationalist, terrible crime. and so operation aerodynamic continues. who oh, now it's showing wrong when i just don't know. i mean you, well, if you have to figure out this thing becomes the advocate and engagement. it was the trail went so many find themselves worlds apart. we used to look so common ground. ah ah, ah, russia claims the leak of classified pentagon documents about the war, new praying reveal nothing new. that those questions remain about the authenticity of the file. the u. s. good bullet support for ukraine and leave europe to face the conflict on its own. as a warning to the french presiden

u. s. is and policy is, why was he not afraid of following the u. s. policy and ukraine in going to war in directly with russia? i do think it is quite interesting, however, because in such a circumstance it does show that within the latest community, there are divisions. and the fact that emanuel macro opened the says to journalists that he does not want to follow everywhere. the u. s. policy is something quite interesting, i think also that china has identified emanuel macro as a weaker spot within the atlantis community. we're in the west and they've paid on that. we seen how exiting being has agreed emanuel macro in china with a lot of honors, a lot of important meetings and sidestepping ursula, vendor ne, in a clearly showing that china was getting more on macro than he was on the european union. so this was quite interesting. however, we must always be cautious with what a manual macro is saying, because because of the fact that he likes to say what people like to hear me going, it's an interesting thing. you said they, you know, part with the well, with the lead t

and adversaries. but perhaps most concerning for u. s. officials or the classified files about the war and ukraine. u. s. defense secretary lloyd austin, said his department is launching review of intelligence, access, accountability, and control procedures. but u. s. president joe biden, who's currently on a visit to the republic of ireland, great. was came to play down his worries over the potential fallout. where are you concerned about the time to go? oh, i got a minute about the ladies. i'm concerned, i think, contemporaneous but while the main suspect may be in custody dozens more documents and their explosive content may yet come to light. and so that this with calling clock who's director of research at the global intelligence and security consultancy, the soon found groupie joins us from pittsburgh. welcome to the w. can we saw with how this leak happened? people will be shocked to hear that such a low ranking amman had access to such highly classified material. yeah, that's just the fact of the matter 2021 year old, individual, massachusetts air national guard that had the clearances to acces

u. s. agenda. ukraine and browbeat anyone who dissented. like for example, hungarian president, victor or bond is proof of just that. and it's been unity above all else. and all it's really change so far is just the rhetoric. the actions haven't changed at all . so we'll see what happens on that front. but mccoy, have dared to diverge from that western unity at all cost doctrine by floating, this idea that hate maybe we should be thinking for ourselves and taking our own best interest to consideration whenever washington rings up, asking, hey, you know, want to go on a joy ride met some stuff up over your own backyard. my call is now saying that unity is important for china as well, and that beijing, the taiwan through that particular prison. he said he express concerns over washington, global economic gemini, and over european nations, becoming it's quote, baffles something that the conflicts in ukraine seems to be salaried. and now the e u has over dependence on american gas and that macros own complaints about that and about its impact o

and their allies that, that has not changed. however, obviously the u. s. allies are concerned about this leak and what this could mean for them. yeah, you mentioned self, korea, you mentioned ukraine. these are all u. s. allies. i'm wondering now with this leak, are we seeing the u. s. government, the pentagon, are they know engaging in some serious damage control? well 1st they have to investigate and that's, that's what they're doing. there is an a criminal investigation and from the pentagon and from the justice department. and that is also everything we hear from the white house. they're referring to this investigation on the results of this investigation. in order to react to the leak and to the post potential damage, it might cause there is an ongoing investigation from both pentagon and justice department and, but they are not only messy getting an how the documents got into twitter and, and the other social platforms. but also what damage they could cause and whether more documents might be leaked in the next 8 weeks. you know, currently as we understand this information was leaked several weeks before the public even found out about it or became aware of it. i'm wondering

u. s. and nato documents concerning ukrainian military readiness and losses. both ukraine and the u. s. say the documents may have been tampered with and could contain misinformation that would benefit moscow. let's take a brief look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. russia has charged wall street journal reporter evan guess, given with espionage. russian authorities arrested him last month in the city. the catherine borg accusing him of trying to obtain classified material. the newspaper denies mister desk of it was fine and demanding his immediate release. us president joe by nice thing to like democratic lawmakers expelled from the tennessee state legislature, the republican controlled house, remove them for taking part in a gun control protest, a white democrat who joined the same demonstration was not far north korea has carried out another test of what it calls an underwater nuclear tact. road state media said the drone traveled for over 70 hours before it was detonated. it's just the latest in a series of test launched by john young. the response

u. s. narrative between washington and moscow. it's boiler plate u. s. narrative between the tensions between the u. s. and russia and the situations that have been occurring in the ukraine since the overthrow, the openly u. s. backed overthrow of the last legitimate, democratically elected government there in 2014. the only thing that to get regime forces are actually doing is pushing the buttons, doing the fighting and, and the dying. everything else is done by the u. s. i think it's an extremely incorrect us is not just helping kill russians. it is de facto killing russians in ukraine and not, not just russian military of course, but civilians, civilians are of the don boss of the hair song, zappa, rosa, and of areas in crimea. and both gord that have been targeted by key regime forces as well or iran has ordered top u. s. officials and entities to pay more than $300000000.00 in compensation to victims of a series of attacks several years ago by the terrorist group. i says, the court ruling said the u. s. had provided support for the group and was thus liable for the bloodshed. the reasons for attributing these crimes to the yes have also been stated by the investigat

and ukraine reveal nothing new. that those questions remain about the authenticity of the files . the u. s. could pull it support for ukraine and leave your up to face the conflict on its own. that's the warning to the french president for public and sen . entering choppy waters, attention spike in the pacific region, as a u. s. navy vessel sales through the south trying to see all big old major drills all around taiwan. these creatures, nothing should be excluded, have been some interesting list. the fact that the u. s. has been still european ones has been revealed not just one percent or have so a tendency to blame everything on russia. it's a common obsession, right? released or discovered on the relatively on known a discourse. there were there for some time apparently before they were picked up and the new york this last friday, the leak of over a 100, very detailed, huge range of topics. and the western media has really picked up the ball and wrong . now, more details are emerging about how an apparent trove, the months with the justice department investigation already underway, just

ukraine's air defense and ammunition reserve. but it also provides a rear window into how the u. s. pies on allies, including south korea, israel and ukraine. ukraine has changed as we just heard now, some of its military plans because of the league, and that already shows us how serious of the situation is. however, it is not clear yet if old documents are authentic or if some have been manipulated . and the pentagon here, here in washington and the justice department, they're investigating on it. yeah, talk to me about the, the response that we have seen from the us intelligence community or us officials of course, of fear that the, these revelations could jeopardize sensitive sources. and of course also compromise important for rein relationships, especially with u. s. allies that apparently are being spied on during today's press briefing in the state department, the spokes person was asked by colleagues from south korea and from israel. what this means for their governments who are being spied on. and the answer was that the u. s. administration that takes this very seriously

u. s. government. i know that the u. s. government has apparently been lying about what's actually going on there, iris and ukraine. what ukraine was doing in terms of bombing and showing some of these so that the ukranian attacks weren't killing and, and murdering job, or thank you very much for that. thanks 0 arm supplying global food giants, including nestle that ins, ended up on the tables of european consumers. with the understanding that the whole process has been subjected to redirect rules are something that many europeans see as a big advantage. you can eat nothing but salads and still somehow mysterious hidden ingredients in food whose impact authorities written like sugar, for example, and then imported into europe. and it's represent a loophole in supposedly virtuous europeans made by european companies that have been outright banned by the rest of the world. pesticides band in the u emmy's, our investigation identified the brazilian fall among them are multi nationals like nestle. coca cola. companies like germany, base f and bare and switzerland take ingredients like sugar on plantations that supply a
